Smashbox BB Cream and Smashbox Brow Tech To Go
The beauty product I won't be able to live without this NZ Fashion Week is the Smashbox BB cream. It's so effortless to put on and the result is flawless. Also the Smashbox Brow Tech To Go makes brows look strong and clean. It's so easy to use, which is ideal when you need to be camera ready among all the madness of Fashion Week!

Clinique High Impact Extreme Volume Mascara
Being someone who isn't genetically blessed in the eyelash (or eyebrow) department, I have used several different kinds of mascara. The best one I've come across is Clinique's High Impact Extreme Volume Mascara. It comes in this shiny silver tube (I'm a sucker for packaging so that sways me) and I know it sounds cliche but it really does give volume and length.

Kerastase Baume Double Je & L'Oreal Tecniart hair product Fix Design
For us at Bettjemans, Fashion Week involves an early start and a huge prep on 30 models for Trelise Cooper. I get one chance to do something with my hair very early in the morning and it has to last all day and night. Kerastase has just released Baume Double Je. I apply this medium-hold styling balm to my freshly washed hair and when it dries naturally or with a blast from the dryer it stays in place all day. I love the flexible low-sheen hold and can run my hands through it to get it back into shape ... when I'm not tearing it out! If all else fails I reach for my all-time favourite Tecniart hair product, Fix Design by L'Oreal Professionnel, which will lock my hair into place no matter how hectic backstage gets.

A few spritzes of this refreshing spray in the morning before moisturiser helps to wake you up and seal the moisture into your skin, and throughout the day helps to keep you feeling fresh.
